The Chief Justice must apologise for making such political statements - Haruna Mohammed

The Chief Justice, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, has faced criticism for making public comments that have been deemed partisan. According to Ghana Business News, on September 2, 2026, he visited the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) and the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF), making remarks that contrasted the performance of the current administration with its predecessor.

The Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) has called on the Chief Justice to be mindful of his public engagements and commentary, urging him to exercise restraint and discretion. The Think Tank stated that the Chief Justice's comments created a perception of political bias, compromising the Judiciary's non-partisan mandate.

Haruna Mohammed has also weighed in on the issue, questioning why the Chief Justice was visiting State-owned institutions when the Judiciary faces its own challenges, including the need for vehicles and infrastructure to administer justice, as reported by 3News.
